Battle of 'gifts' in 6th District

Leslie Coolidge, the Democratic candidate for Congress, is running against Peter Roskam, one of the truly gifted Republican candidates; he's gifted with Republican money, with a social focus so narrow one could call it laserlike, with insight into women's lives that allows him to justify controlling women's choices, and with a sense of political responsibility that allows him to focus solely on attacking Obama to the exclusion (and detriment) of constituent needs.

What does Leslie Coolidge have to offer in the face of such gifts? Leslie's approach is inclusive, not exclusive. She is a thinker, a listener, and most of all, a doer.
